Divorce Litigation: While the attorneys at the Gentry Law Firm always believe family law matters are better resolved outside of Court, sometimes a divorcing couple attempts mediation and negotiation but cannot reach an agreement. When a couple cannot agree on divorce issues like child custody, spousal support and property division, the case must be argued in Court through divorce litigation.
If you are facing contested divorce litigation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the divorce attorneys at the Gentry Law Firm can provide you with experienced representation that protects your rights and interests, helping you to build a brighter future.
Several situations may arise that cause your divorce to be litigated in Court. For example, if your case raises an unsettled area of divorce law in New Mexico, it’s very difficult for parties to fashion an agreement through divorce mediation. In other situations, a separated couple simply cannot agree on who gets what during property division, or the best way to divide time spent with their children.
In contested divorce litigation, one spouse begins by filing a divorce action against the other spouse, and each party hires an attorney. Once litigation is started, the divorce litigator (attorney) gathers as much information and documentation as possible to get a clear picture of expenses, assets, income and debts.
Gathering information may include subpoenas upon employers and other third parties to obtain information your ex-spouse refuses to provide. Our divorce litigators are familiar with experts (such as psychologists and accountants) commonly appointed by Court to provide expert testimony in these areas.
Beginning in litigation does not mean your case will end with a trial. While complying with court orders and deadlines, our divorce litigators also continue to attempt to reach an agreement outside of court during the litigation process. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case all the way to trial and will advocate for your best interests with professionalism and compassion.
The divorce litigators at the Gentry Law Firm are certified family law specialists, meaning that they have extensive training and years of experience concerning issues of divorce, child custody and LGBT partnership dissolution. We are recognized by the New Mexico Board of Legal Specialization as certified specialists in family law.
Our firm tailors our services to busy working professionals. Through a computer program called Clio, you will be able to access relevant pleadings and documents in your case electronically and privately. This program provides you with a mobile version of your file that you can access anytime.
If you are facing divorce litigation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it’s important to have a passionate litigator on your side.
